I've been trying to create an icon for a different system.
I'm having problems with the image though. I've created a .png file with transparency, of dimensions 200x150. The problem is, in mGalaxy the image is squashed to what looks like half that size. I've tried interlaced/compressed combinations but nothing seems to help to get it displayed in it's "correct" size.
Any ideas?
-
Yeah.
Same problem for me. Lot of problems to make a correct size for icon. The defaut size 200*150 not working everytime for me.
Wii icon 120*120
3do icon 500*234
PS2 400*355
Almost the same ration W/H (1.2 1.3)but not all sizes are working, forced to make several tries up to find correct display.
There is a special tips i have missed ?
-

None!
That's strange...my icons come from Photoshop, size 200*150, format PNG-24
Anyway, as I always add new systems (and icon) on request or free submission, simply tell me the system/icon that you want and I'll send you the "official" one!
-
Hu, I need lot of icons, mines are ugly ^^. I take them on wiki (always on png=24 with transparent background) but the resize transformation is not terrible.
There will not new icons in the future version ?

That is very strange! I was expecting a "Oh yeah - it has to be interlaced" or something :)
I'm using CS6 - what version are people using that works correctly? I've included the PNG file here. The forum wouldn't let me upload the PSD unfortunately. It would be interesting if it displays correctly on some systems but not others - could point to a bug :)
Could people try it on their version of mGalaxy and let me know what happens?
It's for the Atari 7800 BTW
EDIT: Here's the code to put in Systems.xml (using MESS) - just change your paths of course :)
<System>
<Name>Atari 7800</Name>
<AppPath>C:\Games\Emulation\MESS\mess64.exe</AppPath>
<RomPath>C:\Games\Emulation\MESS\software\a7800</RomPath>
<SnapPath>C:\Games\Emulation\EmuAssets\Atari_7800\Snap</SnapPath>
<VidPath />
<Emu selected="0">
<Cmd id="0" name="MESS" value="a7800 -cart "%path\%file%ext" %volume -skip_gameinfo -nowindow" />
</Emu>
<Ext selected="0">
<Suf id="0" value=".a78" />
<Suf id="1" value=".zip" />
</Ext>
<Active>True</Active>
</System>

... i use CS 2, and save as PNG-24, transparency ... thats all.
atm. i cant test your image on mGalaxy, but it looks clean and good ...
-
No, that's not a bug in mGalaxy :P
I've loaded your icon and it appears that your RESOLUTION is not good!
It's actually of 240pixels/inch (ready to print) when it should be of 72pixels/inch (for screen display purpose)
Image > Image Size... > Uncheck 'Resample Image' > Type '72' in the 'Resolution' field
Then, be sure that your file is saved like this:
File > Save for Web... > Select 'PNG 24' > Save...
Once this is corrected your .png will display nicely
-
Nice ^^
Thx all
now I only miss the ps2, Pc engine (not turbograph, the white), the 3DO and the taitoX.
-
Ahhh Thank-you! I'll test and report back. :D
-
Awesome - Well firstly I saved as 72 DPI and it showed as being too big! It's still a little confusing, but using the "save for web..." and selecting PNG-24 got it to display perfectly. Great job!! ;D
I'm now available to do any PNGs you need! If you find yourself a bit snowed-under with development, let me know and I'll happily create PNGs for any systems you need :D
-
Aeliss, here is your PS2 icon ... i hope, you dont want the pink-edition ;)
( maybe yes, i made one for you ... ;D )
Hmm, PS2, i has tried a emu last year, now there are a good emu avaiable, and a good game ?
I mean - for me - a game at PS2, that is very good to play in an arcade cab.
i know, PS2 have many games ...
and what is TAITO X ?
-
Beat me to it Stefan! ;)
Warrants a new thread, sure, but how does the PS2 play for you on your rigs? I've been meaning to get GT3 A-Spec running but I'm put off by the specs needed! Would be cheaper to spend £40 on a second hand PS2 and GT3 I think :D
-
i have a ps2 too :)
a Wii too, and "Dolphin" in Cab :D ... i love this crazy moments, to show that for other people, what is possible with a little arcade cab 8) :D
but i will upgrade my cab with anything that is nicely playable ;D
Yes, a new thread, Aeliss, or 2:
PS2
and this "Taito X" ... ?
( mGalaxy Admin: you should built-in a chat here at your page ;) )
-
Lol, thx , this version is perfect for the ps2.
For PS2 emulation I will say my games on the other topic.
Taito Type X is in fact a simple PC (so it s not realy emulation), there is several version of this machine.

http://www.system16.com/hardware.php?id=903 (http://www.system16.com/hardware.php?id=903) << some game
And it don't need recent computer. I have played at blaze with an 8 years old computer.
I can make a tutorial for this emul, but look on youtube "Taito X2" to see some games.
Or on http://www.system16.com/museum.php?id=8 (http://www.system16.com/museum.php?id=8) look at Type X, Type X2 and TypeX+
Hu, ...
If someone can make me an icon with theses pictures too pls ^^.

Perfect ^^
Thx a lot. I compare yours and mines, Fortunately I didn't choose to work as graphic designer.
-
If you want an alternative, here are the icon installed with mGalaxy
-
I need another icon ^^.
For amstrad, same than this one on the mgalaxy site, or another, like you prefer. Amstrad 6128 or 464 better than g4000 because I have more D7 image than cartridge.
-
Here is the "official" Amstrad CPC icon (to be found on the next mGalaxy release)

Nice, thx :)
